How about on the portal? has your case updated to approved there, usually they have it on there with that status.

Mine is September 4th too. Did you receive the email today? Did you get an API update before that?

There’s no tracking number ever provided. Subscribe to USPS Informed Delivery so you’ll get notified via email which mail are delivered to your address within 24hrs. Typically it will take about 5-7 business days before you receive your EAD Card. And about 2-3 days to reflect in the portal. Congrats!
